Keeping the Boys on the Farm.

This is the way it is put by Mrs. Helen
v. Austin, in an article read before the
Indiana Horticultural Society. The
novelty of her views does not in tie least
detract from their force:
"The girls must have equal advantages
with the boys, or the boys, the smart
boys, will not stay on the farm. That
which helps to make city life attractive
to the youth who has left the farm in
disgust is the society of cultured women.
We must educate our girls to be compan.
ions for our boys; we must educate our
girls as thoroughly as we do the boys /;
make them feel Just as independent. We
must make them feel that they have
right to the proceeds of the farm, as the
boys have. Why should not the daugh-
ter feel that she earns living by doing
her portion of the work of the family,
the same as the SON? She works early
and late, and more frequently has the
interest of the household at heart, and
sacrifices more for it than the son. 4
She works all Spring and Summer, from
early morn to dewy eve,' and often late
at night-at what? At everything.
Besides helping her mother with the
housework, which in the country includes
laundry work and sewing, she has been
chief dairy woman; has raised the calves,
the chickens and other poultry; yet she
never has dollar to really call her own,
no matter what is sold from the farm"

The Draft was q Forgery.

OMAHA, NEB., Nov. 2.-Last Sunday
morning the Rev. Mr.. Baskweller, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church at Gen.
trail City, Neb., answered the knock of
8 tall, fne-lookiug gentleman wearing 8
handsome dark moustache and suit of
black broadcloth cut after the most ap.
proved clerical pattern. He presented a
letter of introduction from w. E. Kim.
ball, of the Presbyterian Church at
Madison, Neb., which stated that the
bearer was the Rev. B. Brown, of Leb.
anon, Tenn. The stranger was cordially
received, and in the evening preached in
the Rev. Mr.. Baskweller's pulpit mag
nifcent sermon, which won the hearts of
the whole congregation.
At the end Of the services he was in
troduced, among others, to F. M. Per.
singer, President of the First National
Bank of Central City, and in the course
of the conversation remarked that he
would have some business at the bank in
the course of a day or two. Yesterday
afternoon he appeared at the bank and
presented draft for $4,000, purporting
to be drawn on the Chemical National,
of New York, by the First National, of
Lebanon, Tenn. He asked for 1,5O0 in
currency, deposited the balance to his
credit and walked out. Mr.. Persinger's
brother was suspicious, and sending a
query to the Lebanon Bank received a
reply that the draft was forgery. The
Rev. Mr.. Brown had gone. He was
traced to Omaha and thence to Council
Bluffs. President Persinger and an
officer are in pursuit.

Into the Pond.

PRESTON, GA, Nov. 8.-Mrs. George
Mcneil committed suicide here BY
drowning. George Mcneil, her husband,
is miller for S. Bell, of this County, four
miles north of Preston. The family
arose early, Mcneil having to come to
Preston to meet Mrs. McNeiI's sister, who
would arrive on the 6:55 a. m. train. As
soon as he got up he took boat and
went up into the pond to fish his nets,
bringing back with him string of fish.
He took them in the house and laid them
on the hearth in the cook room. His
wife became angry, and began to abuse
him, saying she could not keep anything
clean for him. He, in reply, began ours
ing. She said she would drown herself,
and he told her that he didn't care d-n
if she did. She Immediately ran out OF
the house and jumped into the pond
where the water was ten feet deep. Nc.
Neil and his wife's sister both saw her
when she jumped in. Mcneil can't
swim, but he and his wife's sister made
efforts to save her by handing her long
pole. Either from determination to

no effort to catch hold. She was fished
out in very short time by some of the
neighbors who arrived. The unfortunate
woman's sister, Miss Carrie Thornton,
who was present, says that she is satisfied
that she did not intend drowning herself,
but thought she would be rescued by her
husband. They had not been getting
along very agreeably; were continually
having little spats, and she had threat,
ened to drown herself several times
before, when at last she repeated her
threat no attention was paid to it.

The Model Man of the State.

State Treasurer Bamberg has induced
prominent farmer of his county to at.
tend the Old Farmer Settlers convention,
which takes place during the coming
fair. Though it has been found impos:
sible to secure the attendance of Mr..
Davis at our fair, a perusal of the facts
given below concerning this farmer del.
egate will convince all that in this old
time farmer there will be present there a
most remarkable man, whose record is
difficult if not impossible to equal any.
where, and to see whom alone it is worth
the trip thither.
He is 7S years of age and has ploughed
every summer for sixty eight years, hav-
ing made fifty-four crops on the same
plantation.
He has never made failure in crop.
He has never bought pound of bacon
or lard for his own use, but has always
made bacon and lard to sell.
He has always raised wool enough for
his own clothing and to spare.
He does not recollect ever having
sworn an oath.
He has never refused call of charity,
and has always given literally for the
support of the gospel and charitable
objects.
he has been steward of Methodist
Church for so years and has never missed
but two stewards meetings in that period.
He took his last drink Of whisky in
1887, fifty years ago, and thinks it was
his first also, as he does not remember
ever having taken drink before.
He regrets nothing in his past life, and
has no fears for the future.
A model farmer, model neighbor, a
model steward, model Christian, none
could be his superior; where can his
equal be found.-Colunabia Register.

The Crime Of Arson.

A number of interesting facts are dis.
covered in leaaet circulated among
insurance men, on Criminal fires in the
United States" 1t is paper read by
franklin Webster before the eighteenth
annual meeting of the Fire Underwriters
Association Of the Northwest, at Chicago,
September, 1887.
The estimated annual loss by fire in
this country is one hundred millions of
dollars. Mr.. Webster, by careful COM
parison of statistics, concludes that about
26 per cent. of these fires are incendiary.
In other words, in the last three years,
eighty millions of dollars worth of prop.
erty have been destroyed by criminal
fires. Those are figures that are certainly
calculated to set mcralists and reformers
thinking.
The author holds that insurance is to
be held accountable for comparatively
little of these losses, and he summarizes
the causes as "private enmities, business
riyalries, mischief, malice, race prejudices
and hatreds, factional quarrels, jealousy,
religious .intoleration, fire raising for
purpose of theft or to hide theft, for the
purpose of murder or to hide murder,
labor troubles and so on" Strange to
say, the crime of incendiarism varies
with some regularity with the months,
being most frequent in November. For
the last four years there have been more
criminal fires in August, September, Oc.
-toher. November, and December, than in
all the other seven months.
The unpleasant fact is noted that the
ratio of incendiarism ranges steadily
higher in the Southern States than else
where. South Carolina is among the
States whose percentage of incendiary
fires is over half, her percentage being 81.
North Carolina and West Virginia aver
age 81; Arkansas and Tennessee, So;
Kentucky and Mississippi, 54. These
two States have the highest average, the
lowest being in California, Is per cent.
Out of 81, ,176 prisoners reported from
thirty States and Territories, only 1856
were for arson. In the South Carolina
Penitentiary, out of 547 convicts, II, or
POI per cent. were serving terms for
incendiarism.
These are instructive and interesting
figures, and they will bear careful thought
aud study.-Greenvils Neacs.

- And when it is all over, and our feet
will run no more, and our hands are

Anarchists and. Socialists.

I. Few persons understand the theories
entertained and preached by the advo-
Gates Of these two systems. The mention
of the one generally suggests the other,
and one person in d hundred is not aware
that Anarchists and Socialists represent
the two pales or extremes of social theo-
ry. From the Boston Herald we reprint
definitions of each, showing their marked
opposition to each other:
Stated briefly, the Anarchist believes
that. the people Of this country are too
much governed; the Socialist believes
that they are not governed enough. The
Anarchist would do away with the laws
that are now upon the statute books,
whatever they may be; would abolish
Congresses, Legislatures, City Councils,
Presidents, Governors, Mayors and all of
the paraphernalia of government, giving
each individual citizen the right to do
what he saw fit, qualified merely by the
right of all other citizens to do what they
saw fit, believing that in this way each
man would be in a position to secure,
without let or hindrance, the largest
possible share of worldly well-beipg.
If he did not succeed it would be his own
fault, and he would have no one to blame
but himself.
The Socialist theory is precisely the
reverse of this, starting as it does, on the
assumption that it is incumbent upon
each individual to do all that he can for
the welfare of others. Instead of finally
dismissipg Legislatures, anddiscbargipg,
once and forever, all of the executive
officers of the government, the Socialist
would increase the duties of the Legisla.
ture, and greatly multiply the functions
of the executive. The hours of work
should be regulated; the amount of pay
should be officially fixed the individual
should have no wealth at all, except his
share in the general wealth, or such pos.
sessions as he saw fit to accumulate for
his personal use should be strictly limit.

for gain by individuals or corporations
should be assumed by the State, and
when carried to communistic extreme,
the Socialist theory would necessitate

holds and the merging of individual!
existence into great common family, all
working as nearly possible alike, and all
sharing equally and together in the pro-
ducts of work.
The theories of both are in opposition
to Republican form of government, and
there is no room for them here.

Oakum picking is doomed even in mill
tary prisons. Sir f. Du Canes last re-
port on the discipline and management OF
these Institutions is full OF testimony for
the more excellent plan of employing
prisoners on less monotonous and more
productive work. There is military
prison at Brixton, and here the governor
perceiyes a steady amelioration in the
conduct of his prisoners. He attributes
this improvement in great degree to the
pursuit of industries which improve their
bodily and mental health. News.
